Tan KHX, Barr ELM, Koshkina V, Ma S, Kowlessur S, Magliano DJ, Söderberg S, Chia KS, Zimmet P, Lim WY. Diabetes mellitus prevalence is increasing in South Asians but is stable in Chinese living in Singapore and Mauritius. J Diabetes 2017; 9:855-864. [PMID: 27778460 DOI: 10.1111/1753-0407.12497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2016] [Revised: 10/11/2016] [Accepted: 10/19/2016] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Asia is experiencing a type 2 diabetes epidemic, but prevalence differs by ethnicity and level of socioeconomic development. Singapore and Mauritius have implemented comprehensive campaigns to address this public health problem. We compared diabetes and obesity prevalence trends among Chinese and South Asians living in Singapore and Mauritius to determine the contribution of ethnicity and economic development to diabetes. METHODS Age-specific data from serial national population-based surveys in Singapore and Mauritius between 1987 and 2010 were used to estimate age-standardized diabetes and obesity prevalence. Modified Breslow-Cox proportional hazard models were used to obtain rate ratios for diabetes risk factors. RESULTS In Singapore, the age-standardized prevalence of diabetes remained stable for Chinese (men: 14% in 1992, 13% in 2010; women: 12% in 1992, 10% in 2010), but increases were observed for South Asians (men: 20% in 1992, 26% in 2010; women: 18% in 1992, 20% in 2010). There were similar patterns in Mauritius. In both countries, obesity prevalence trends were stable for Chinese women, but increased for Chinese men and South Asians. Associations between obesity and diabetes were stronger in Chinese than South Asians regardless of country. CONCLUSIONS Despite different socioeconomic settings in Singapore and Mauritius, we observed rising diabetes prevalence among South Asians but stable prevalence in Chinese in both countries. This provides further evidence that ethnicity contributes to the development of diabetes, and that there should be an increased emphasis on future prevention strategies targeting South Asian populations in these countries.

Yu YH. Making sense of metabolic obesity and hedonic obesity. J Diabetes 2017; 9:656-666.

Abstract
Body weight is neither stationary nor does it change unidirectionally. Rather, body weight usually oscillates up and down around a set point. Two types of forces determine the direction of weight changes. Forces that push body weight away from the set point are defined as non-homeostatic and are governed by multiple mechanisms, including, but not limited to, hedonic regulation of food intake. Forces that restore the set point weight are defined as homeostatic, and they operate through mechanisms that regulate short-term energy balance driven by hunger and satiation and long-term energy balance driven by changes in adiposity. In the normal physiological state, the deviation of body weight from the set point is usually small and temporary, and is constantly corrected by homeostatic forces. Metabolic obesity develops when body weight set point is shifted to an abnormally high level and the obese body weight becomes metabolically defended. In hedonic obesity, the obese body weight is maintained by consistent overeating due to impairments in the reward system, although the set point is not elevated. Adaptive increases in energy expenditure are elicited in hedonic obesity because body weight is elevated above the set point. Neither subtype of obesity undergoes spontaneous resolution unless the underlying disorders are corrected. In this review, the need for both appropriate patient stratification and tailored treatments is discussed in the context of the new framework of metabolic and hedonic obesity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of non-surgical periodontal therapy on serum inflammatory factors and metabolism levels in obese rats with experimental periodontitis. METHODS Sixteen obese rats with experimental periodontitis were randomly divided into treatment group and control group with non-surgical periodontal therapy and no treatment, respectively. Oral glucose tolerance test was performed before treatment and 2 weeks after the treatment. All the rats were sacrificed 2 weeks after treatment and the orbital vein blood was taken to detect fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, and serum level of C-reactive protein (CRP). Results Two weeks after periodontal treatment, fasting blood glucose (t=2.445, P=0.034) and beta cell function index (t=-2.543, P=0.027) were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group. Compared with those in the control group, CRP level (t=2.388, P=0.028) and the area under the curve in the oral glucose tolerance test (t=12.053, P=0.000) decreased significantly in the treatment group. CONCLUSION Non-surgical periodontal treatment can reduce serum CRP level and improve glucose metabolism in obese rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of periodontal therapy in controlling periodontitis and on insulin resistance and lipid metabolism in obese rats with periodontitis. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into normal group (group C), obese group (group O), periodontitis combined with obesity group (group P) and periodontal treatment group (group T). The obese rats in groups P and T were subjected to ligation of the maxillary second molar with silk thread to induce experimental periodontitis, and the rats in group T received periodontal therapy after the ligation. All the rats were sacrificed at the age of 24 weeks for measurement of blood lipids, insulin and blood glucose levels, and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) was calculated. The expressions of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) and IRS-2 in the liver tissues were detected using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS Compared with the obese rats in group O, the rats in group P showed significantly higher HOMA-IR and LDL-C and lower expressions of IRS-1 and IRS-2 mRNA expression and HDL-C level (P<0.05). Compared with those in group P, the mRNA expressions of IRS-1 and IRS-2 and HDL-C level were significantly increased and LDL-C level, TC level and HOMA-IR were all decreased in group T (P<0.05), but the level of TG was comparable between the two groups. Pathological examination revealed lessened inflammatory cell infiltration and tissue destruction in the upper jaw of the rats in group T; the rats in group P presented with the most obvious upper jaw destruction and steatosis and inflammatory cell infiltration in the liver. CONCLUSION Periodontal inflammation can downregulate the expression of IRS-1 and IRS-2 and increase insulin resistance and dyslipidemia in obese rats. Periodontal therapy produces a beneficial effect in improving insulin resistance and reducing dyslipidemia in obese rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the deceleration capacity (DC) of heart rate, acceleration capacity (AC) of heart rate, and heat rate variability (HRV) in obese school-age children, and to observe the correlations of BMI with DC, AC, and HRV in these children. METHODS A total of 108 obese school-age children were selected, including 75 cases of ortholiposis and 33 cases of dyslipidemia. A total of 103 healthy school-age children were selected as control group. All the subjects underwent 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiography. The comparisons of DC, AC, and HRV were made between the obese and control groups, as well as between children with ortholiposis and dyslipidemia in the obese group. The correlations of BMI with DC, AC, and HRV were analyzed in the obese group. RESULTS The obese group showed lower DC, standard deviation of normal-to-normal R-R intervals (SDNN), standard deviation of the average normal-to-normal intervals (SDANN), root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD), low-frequency power (LF), and high-frequency power (HF) than the control group. The AC of the obese group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). In the obese group, children with dyslipidemia had significantly lower DC, SDNN, SDANN, RMSSD, LF, and HF, but significantly higher AC and BMI, as compared with those with ortholiposis (P<0.01). In the obese group, BMI was negatively correlated with DC, SDNN, SDANN, RMSSD, and HF (P<0.05), but positively correlated with AC (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Obese school-age children have impaired autonomic nerve function, presenting with reduced vagal tone, which is particularly prominent in those with dyslipidemia. The more obese the children, the lower the vagal tone, which may increase the risks of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
This article reports the clinical features and endocrine and metabolic features of 4 children with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). All the patients were female and aged 6-12 years at diagnosis. All of them had clinical manifestations of obesity, unusual facies, developmental retardation, and intellectual disability. Genetic detection showed that 2 patients had paternal deletion of the 15q11.2-q13 region, one patient had maternal autodiploid in the 15q11.2-q13 region, and one patient had no abnormality in the 15q11.2-q13 region. All patients had varying degrees of endocrine and metabolic disorders: 2 patients had short stature, among whom one had delayed appearance of secondary sex characteristics and the other one had type 2 diabetes; one patient had insulin resistance and no mammary gland development; one patient had a body height of P3-P10 and precocious puberty. Patients with PWS have various endocrine disorders, so long-term endocrine follow-up and management is very important.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between dental caries and metabolic syndrome (MetS) is inconsistent. The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between dental caries and MetS and its components in a middle-aged Chinese population. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis was performed of 13 998 participants aged 45-65 years undergoing a health check during 2013-14. An index variable of decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) was calculated. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) after adjustment for sex, age, education level, dietary habits, alcohol use, smoking, physical activity, and periodontitis. RESULTS Of the 13 998 participants, 6164 had dental caries and 7834 did not; 3571 had MetS, whereas 10 427 did not. Participants with severe caries showed a higher prevalence of MetS, abdominal obesity, elevated blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia than those with mild or no caries (all P < 0.01). Adjusted ORs for MetS for those with two or more dental caries and those with two or more DMFT were 1.12 (95 % CI 1.14-1.74) and 1.09 (95 % CI, 0.89-1.21), respectively (P trend < 0.001). Stratified analysis by individual MetS components showed that caries were associated with MetS among subjects with hyperglycemia (OR 1.14 [95%CI, 0.98-1.34]; P < 0.001). However, there was no significant relationship between caries and abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and elevated blood pressure (adjusted ORs [95 % CIs] 0.98 [0.82-1.16], 1.01 [0.85-1.19], 0.84 [0.70-1.00], and 0.96 [0.86-1.13], respectively; all P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Dental caries were associated with MetS among middle-aged Chinese in the present study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major health problem in Africa and worldwide. The prevalence of diabetes is expected to increase at alarming rate in Africa. Its estimated that around 20 million Africans are now living with diabetes, comprising a challenge for health systems at present and in the future. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of undiagnosed and diagnosed DM and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in adult urban communities of the River Nile State (RNS), north Sudan. METHODS The present study was a cross-sectional community-based study in which participants were randomly selected from the four main cities of the RNS, on a house-to-house basis. Blood glucose was tested and all participants completed a questionnaire to obtain demographic, clinical and social data. Blood pressure and anthropometric measures were also recorded. RESULTS In all, 954 adults (518 females; 54.3%; mean [±SD] age 39.5 ± 16.7 years; range 18-90 years) participated in the survey. The overall prevalence of DM was 19.1% (182/954), whereas that of IGT was 9.5% (91/954). Among the diabetic group, 125 (68.7%) had known diabetes, whereas 57 (31.3%) were newly diagnosed during the study. Increasing age, a family history of diabetes, central obesity, abnormal body mass index, and hypertension were significant risk factors for DM. CONCLUSIONS There is high prevalence of DM and glucose intolerance in the urban population of the RNS. Screening for diabetes in individuals with any feature of metabolic syndrome is recommended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effect of obesity on the treatment outcome of asthma predictive index (API)-positive infants and young children with wheezing. METHODS A total of 208 API-positive infants and young children with wheezing were enrolled. According to the Kaup index, the patients were divided into an obese group (n=93) and a non-obese group (n=115). The patients were given multimodality therapy in an acute episode of wheezing and aerosol inhalation of inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) budesonide suspension in the remission stage. The dose of ICS was adjusted according to clinical control. The patients were treated for 6 months, and were followed up at 2 weeks after treatment and once per month afterwards. RESULTS At 2 weeks and 1 month after treatment, the obese group had significantly lower remission rates of clinical symptoms than the non-obese group (35.5%/75.3% vs 53.0%/87.8%; P<0.05). Compared with the non-obese group, the obese group had significantly higher incidence rates of wheezing at 3 and 6 months after treatment and a significantly higher proportion of patients who visited the emergency service or were hospitalized due to wheezing within 6 months (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Obesity can inhibit the response to ICS treatment in API-positive infants and young children with wheezing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) level and the prevalence rate of a high non-HDL-C level in children aged 9-11 years in the Mianyang Science City area in Sichuan Province, China. METHODS From September to October, 2015, a field investigation was performed for the students from three primary schools in the Mianyang Science City area by cluster sampling. Fasting venous blood was collected for blood lipid tests. The cut-off value of serum non-HDL-C level and prevalence rate of a high non-HDL-C level in children aged 9-11 years in this area were calculated, as well as the prevalence rate of a high non-HDL-C level in obese children. RESULTS In the children aged 9-11 years in this area, the cut-off value of non-HDL-C level was 3.67 mmol/L, and the prevalence rate of a high non-HDL-C level was 3.7% (22/589). Compared with the non-obese children, the obese children had a significantly higher serum non-HDL-C level (P<0.01) and a significantly higher prevalence rate of a high non-HDL-C level (10.0% vs 2.9%; P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS The cut-off value of serum non-HDL-C level in children aged 9-11 years in the Mianyang Science City area is established. Obesity is associated with an increased prevalence rate of a high non-HDL-C level in children aged 9-11 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No systematic comparison has been conducted in Fiji using all suitable surveys of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity prevalence after standardizing methodology and definitions. METHODS Unit records from six surveys of Fiji adults were variously adjusted for age, ethnicity (Fiji Melanesians, i-Taukei, and Fijians of Asian Indian descent [Indians]) and urban-rural by sex to previous censuses. Trends were assessed using meta-regression (random effect models) and estimates projected to 2020. Poisson regression of strata was used to assess the effect of body mass index (BMI) increases on T2DM period trends. RESULTS Over 1980-2011, T2DM prevalence increased in i-Taukei men (3.2% to 11.1%; 1.32%/5 years) and women (5.3% to 13.6%; 1.40%/5 years) and Indian men (11.1% to 17.9%; 1.24%/5 years) and women (11.2% to 19.9%; 1.71%/5 years). Projected T2DM prevalence in 2020 is 13.3% and 16.7% in i-Taukei men and women, and 23.4% and 24.1% in Indian men and women, respectively. Obesity prevalence increased in i-Taukei men (12.6% to 28.9%; 2.99%/5 years) and women (30.1% to 52.9%; 3.84%/5 years) and in Indian men (2.8% to 9.4%; 1.21%/5 years) and women (13.2% to 26.6%; 2.61%/5 years). Projected obesity prevalence in 2020 is 34.0% and 60.0% in i-Taukei and women, and 11.4% and 31.0% in Indian men and women, respectively. After age-adjustment, an estimated 27%, 25%, 16% and 18% of the T2DM period trend is attributable to BMI in i-Taukei men and women and Indian men and women, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Prevalence of T2DM in Fiji is projected to continue increasing, driven by rising obesity, with consequences for premature mortality and life expectancy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of motivational interviewing combined with peer participation on obesity management in adolescents. METHODS A total of 100 adolescents with simple obesity were randomly divided into traditional management and peer participation groups (n=50 each). The traditional management group received traditional health management. The peer participation group received motivational interviewing performed by psychological consultants combined with peer participation through the entire process in addition to traditional health management. The physical exercise, dietary behavior, differences in body composition parameters, and effect of comprehensive intervention were compared between the two groups after intervention for half a year. RESULTS After the health management for six months, the peer participation group showed better improvements in the control of energy intake, adjustment of dietary structure, adherence to moderate/high intensity exercise, and increase in lean body mass compared with the traditional management group (P<0.05). The peer participation group had a significantly higher attendance rate for guidance and counseling performed by a multidisciplinary team once a week than the traditional management group (89% vs 57%; P<0.05), as well as a significantly higher response rate to health management than the traditional management group (83% vs 43%; P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Motivational interviewing combined with peer participation for obesity management can improve the compliance and the effect of comprehensive intervention in losing weight in adolescents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of obesity on response to therapy and pulmonary function in children with asthma who receive inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) treatment. METHODS A total of 129 children with asthma were divided into two groups according to their body mass index: normal weight group (n=64) and obese group (n=65). The asthma control status and pulmonary function were compared between the two groups after one year of ICS treatment. The pulmonary function was expressed as percent forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1%), percent predicted forced vital capacity (FVC%), peak expiratory flow (PEF), peak expiratory flow at 25% of vital capacity (PEF25), and peak expiratory flow at 50% of vital capacity (PEF50). The asthma control status was expressed as complete control rate, partial control rate, and uncontrolled rate. Sixty-eight healthy children were selected as the healthy control group. RESULTS There were significant differences in the indices of pulmonary function between the three groups before treatment (P<0.01); the healthy control group had the best values of pulmonary function, while the obese group had the worst values. After 1 year of treatment, the normal weight group showed significantly more improvements in FEV1% and FVC% than the obese group (P<0.01). However, there were no significant differences in improvements in PEF, PEF25, and PEF50 between the two groups. The complete control rate, partial control rate, and uncontrolled rate in the normal weight group were 72%, 19%, and 9%, respectively, while the rates in the obese group were 28%, 51%, and 22%, respectively; the normal weight group had a significantly better asthma control status than the obese group (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS The asthmatic children with obesity have a significantly less improvement in large airway function and a poorer asthma control status after ICS treatment than those with the normal weight.

Abstract
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are important diseases that affect human health. Obesity is one of the major biological risk factors of NCDs. With the growing national economy and the increasing standard of living, the obesity problem is highlighted and could raise even more attention. Oral health is vital to overall health. To gain more recognition and popularize the monitoring of obesity in dentistry, this paper illustrates the status of present studies between obesity and oral health.
